With my somewhat older AMD systems, that the system doesn=E2=80=99t boot actually is a white lie. When using Xorg, the display locks up to a still image (not black but the previous unrelated boot messages), but IIRC it boots fine otherwise and can be used blindly. So in the common case of AMD, it could be said that =E2=80=9Cthe display locks up to a still image=E2=80=9D. Maybe that is not true in general though. With SiS graphics on my vintage Uniwill One laptop, this would be not true. On cold boots, the laptop goes to kind of an infinite suspend state. On reboots, GDM just doesn=E2=80=99t start, but the virtual console= is usable. Thinking about it, the false alarms are not nice, but I don=E2=80=99t know = if Ludo=E2=80=99s proposed device check = would be reasonably doable and he actually wasn=E2=80=99t mentioning it in relati= on to graphics. I think this patch is right (after fixing the indentation). Shall I push or make more changes?
